Hey firstly I must say although this paper is Israel made, its being
read by Turkish people pretty a lot, well what can I say its good to
read both sides right!! ? Keep up the good work guys! Being a Turkish
myself; I know we have historical connection both with Arabs and Jews.
Although we had mostly problems with Arabs in the past, it seems recent
years Turkey moving closer to Arabs. Those European's and people of
Israel should ask that why Turkey is moving closer to the East instead
of West!!! Only recently between Syria and Turkey visas has being gone
and two countries people now can travel to both sides with no question
asked? Only recently between Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon an
economical agreement being signed!!! Ermm well I think some people
should stop and ask another question to themselves now, question that is
really important in middle east... a question that’s important
both for Israel and Turkey!!! Are we going to be friends again? I
honestly want to say yes but I think we both have people on both sides
who don’t want that anymore. Although I know that Turkey has
being a welcoming holiday destination for people of Israel or a shopping
destination. There has being good relations between us in many different
ways, you guys eat in Turkey with no doubt about the food and we had
your military experience, you guys produce we sold it to countries who
are refusing to trade with Israel. We had our citizens moved to live in
Israel and some left behind living bigger cities in Turkey with no
problem. We had strong trading relations (we still have), we had very
good military connections, you come and use our airspace for training
and we send our planes to you for modernizations. we had an earthquake
you guys were the first one who send help, you guys had terrorist
attacks we were the first one who protest it. You guys never liked Syria
and Iran and that had being the common interest for Turkey and we worked
together for security reasons... and many common interests that we had
and have.... I honestly want to say yes we will be friends again but
my intelligence doesn’t accept that, I'm afraid its not going to
be that easy. While we anti Israel people in Turkey and you have people
like Barak, I'm afraid we really are not going to be same old friends.
I just hope that we people of both countries can find a way! Until then
get together with your friends from Israel and you guys from Turkey
maybe we can start again one by one.... Ani veAtah Neshane et HaOlam!

If Israel shows greater flexibility, it can still influence the post-nuclear deal agenda ; If Israel digs in its heels, it will increasingly become a liability rather than a strategic asset to the U.S.
